Evidence-backed facts
- MetaboLights APIs expose public metabolomics studies, assays, files, samples, protocols, compounds, validations, and repository metadata. informative
- Public study reads are separate from token-protected submission, update, review, and private-study operations; credentials must not appear in public records. informative
- Clients must bind study accession, endpoint, file or assay scope, format, version, validation behavior, and paging and distinguish public from private lifecycle states. informative
- Submitted metabolomics data can be revised, heterogeneous, incomplete, normalized differently, or method-dependent and does not prove metabolite identity, concentration, mechanism, or clinical relevance. informative
